Recalling Obama's chitlin speech in which he told Virginia blacks to wake up cousin Pooky and make sure he votes....

Uncle Joe now tells a black crowd in Danville that Romney's economic policies would "Put y'all back in chains"....

so in the past week they've warned voters that people will either die, get cancer, or be enslaved should Republicans win in November.

Wasn't it the president in Tucson saything that we should treat each other with respect and civility?

it won't cause any uproar though. It's just Joe being Joe. nobody expects much out of the guy other than a good laugh.
Can you imagine the outrage if Romney or Ryan had said something like that?

Well, the Washington Post website wrote about it today so I guess the MSM isn't ignoring what Biden said.

Biden: Romney’s approach to financial regulation will ‘put y’all back in chains’

Posted by Sean Sullivan on August 14, 2012 at 2:33 pm

Campaigning in southern Virginia on Tuesday, Vice President Biden told an audience that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s approach to regulating the financial industry will “put y’all back in chains.”

“Look at their budget and what they’re proposing,” Biden said. (Romney’s vice presidential running mate is House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan.) “Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he is going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. Unchain Wall Street. They are going to put y’all back in chains.”

Romney has said that if he is elected, he will work to repeal the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory bill (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/wp/2012/08/10/romney-vows-to-repeal-dodd-frank-the-laws-biggest-critics-doubt-that-will-happen/) singed into law by President Obama in 2010.

Biden was in Danville kicking off a two-day tour of southern and southwestern Virginia, where he spoke at The Institute for Advanced Learning and Research.

Rudy goes there, says what everyone knows but dare not say;:lol:


Giuliani jabbed at Biden on Tuesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “The Kudlow Report,” saying that the remarks would have been cause for excitement if they were made by a mentally capable politician.

“I think if it came from somebody serious, maybe we would get all excited about it,” Giuliani said.

“But I think the vice president of the United States has become a laugh line on late night television. I mean — I have never seen a vice president that has made as many mistakes, said as many stupid things. I mean, there’s a real fear if, God forbid, he ever had to be entrusted with the presidency, whether he really has the mental capacity to handle it.”

“I mean, this guy just isn’t bright. He’s never been bright. He isn’t bright. People think well, he just talks a little bit too much. Actually, he’s just not very smart.”

Yea, you're right. Rudy had a clever and endearing moment. :rolleyes:

If it was a "disgusting racist-tinged rant", people everywhere will be appalled and many will switch their votes to Romney. If it was a poor choice of words, it won't mean a damn thing.

Did you give George Allen a pass in 2006 when he used vulgar racist language, too? I didn't. I actually donated money to Jim Webb a week later. You're far too partisan to see anything for what it is.

And no people won't change their votes, b/c it's just good ol' dumb Joe Biden, so it's an ignored story. Dumb Joe can say just about anything (and he has), and nothing is reported.

Frankly your Rudy line was just stupid and off-point. Sorry.

Wow, I thought Allen's comments to that young guy were clearly racist and therefore outrageous. After he made them, Allen went on Meet The Press, back when it was a real news program with Tim Russert, and lied about even knowing the origin of the word. But I guess that type of disgusting language doesn't bother you.

The term "nothing" was a rhetorical flourish, or hyperbole to make a point. In the literal sense, I'd like to use the term "under-reported."

First it was Ryan pushing a grandma over a cliff.
Then it was Romney (after he paid NO taxes, according to the reputable Harry Reid) causing a man's wife to die of cancer.
Now, it's both of them going to put Blacks back in chains.

When you have nothing to brag about on your own, you attack the other guy.
Attacks are one thing, but this administration and it's surrogates in the Democratic Party have brought mud-slinging and negative campaigning to a new & probably never-again-attained LOW.

Here's the bottom line on Biden IMO. He's a great man who makes more than his fair share of faux pas'. I don't care about the faux pas. I'd compare it to an aunt or uncle who I'm really fond of. They may put their foot in it once in a while but so what.

At any rate, I believe Joe Biden will govern in a manner that I agree with if he ever has to assume the roll of President. You and all others here don't have to agree with me on this. I'll live. :)

When someone like Sarah Palin makes incendiary and/or stupid remarks do you just chalk it up as a "faux pas?" So next time you criticize a Rep for saying anything you find out of bounds, I'll just call it a faux pas and you'll give them a pass, ok?

Three things, NJ. 1. When was your aunt or uncle, the ones you are really fond of, serve as VP of the United States? 2. What exactly are you referring to, when you say the "swiftboating" of John Kerry? and 3. Are you saying that you don't care what a President or VP, says or does, as long as he governs in a manner that you agree with?

Hmmm one time a gaffe.....???
What is it if it's multiple times????

Biden: "You don't know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state is the eighth largest black population in the country. My state is anything from a Northeast liberal state."

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/aug/15/biden-has-record-slave-themed-remarks/

Biden on 7 eleven and dunkin donuts: ""I've had a great relationship. In Delaware, the largest growth in population is Indian-Americans moving from India. You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking,"

http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-250_162-1785303.html

Biden on keeping blacks in chains:
"“We got a real clear picture of what they all value,” Biden said. “Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, ‘unchain Wall Street.’ They’re going to put y’all back in chains.”

I mean the guy who actually fought for our country in Vietnam and then had the guts to come home and testify as to what he and other soldiers saw and lived with over there. What personal gain did Kerry have in mind for saying what he did?

The link below has audio of Kerry's testimony to Congress in 1971. (His testimony starts at around 9:15). Or one can just read the speech at this link. People can decide for themselves what kind of man John Kerry was a long time ago. Personally, I consider Kerry a genuine American hero for what he said to Congress over 40 years ago.

Team Obama have obviously decided to run a filthy campaign and are reaching new lows every day. It's hard to believe that after Biden's remark the President came to Biden's defense. This was very un-Presidential, shameful. I think this type of Chicago style attack campaign is going to backfire. Romney just has to keep pounding away with his 5 point plan to turn the economy around and let the other guys self destruct with their nasty rhetoric. The polls will start to go other other way in a few weeks.

Romney may be pounding away, Pandy, but I just checked. Obama is now bet down to 4/11 at William Hill and the Hammer went up to 2-1. But I know you said things will change in a few weeks so now may be the time for Romney backers to bet with both fists. :cool:

I agree with you on Kerry - his war record (he actually fought in a war, not sure what GWB was doing) should not have been questioned--quite disgraceful actually. So you got it right on one count, defending a Dem (no surprise). But then you quickly go back to your knee-jerk partisan defense of Biden. Partisanship has a place in the world and serves a purpose, but it just means you don't have much credibility as an objective observer.

Earlier comment this year from Biden: "The last time we unshackled Wall Street, America's middle class was shackled."

Okay, completely reasonable political comment.

This recent comment:

"Look at what they value and look at their budget, and what they're proposing. Romney wants to let the -- he said in the first 100 days, he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules. Unchain Wall Street. They're going to put you all back in chains."

Your Dad must have got his bet in early. Because one had to bet 90 pounds to win 50 on Reagan in London the day after they debated. (They debated a week before the election.)

I remember this because I tried to get a bet in on Reagan after that debate.

Now it's possible that Romney will manhandle Obama like Reagan did Carter in the upcoming debates and romp....
